The morning has broken, as the sun rises above the Pelee Clipper, one of the many commercial fishing boats that dock at Kingsville Harbour, found on the north shore of Lake Erie. In the background is the ferry the M.V. Pelee Islander II, also docked waiting to begin another season of carrying passengers and vehicles across to Pelee Island.

Boats docked in the harbor, as if waiting, their silhouettes silhouetted against the sky.
The sea and boats are associated with freedom and adventure, the possibility of exploring, of going far, of discovering new things.

26th October 2015 - A night time view of the historic Princes Dock in Liverpool (My office on the left..).
Princes Dock is mentioned in the novel Redburn, His First Voyage by Herman Melville (1849):
"In magnitude, cost and durability the docks of Liverpool surpass all others in the world... for miles you may walk along that riverside, passing dock after dock, like a chain of immense fortresses. Prince's Dock, of comparatively recent construction, is perhaps the largest of all and is well known to American sailors from the fact that it is mostly frequented by the American shipping."
It is also were the vast majority of American GI's first stepped foot onto English soil during the second world war. Princes Dock has long been known as an American shipping dock which has certain connotations for me as I work for an American shipping company that is based (at present) on that same dock.
All the men, aircraft, tanks and artillery not to mention the vast amounts of supplies to keep them all running came through this very dock in the early stages of the American participation of World War II.
Victoria Dock in Caernarfon.
This was first built in the 1860's, and intended mostly for the import of timber from Scandinavia.
In 1997 the Victoria Dock was purchased by Gwynedd Council.

I went to the big places, the waterfalls, the peaks, the valleys. They call to me. But sometimes, the shots are where you don't anticipate them to be. This was the campground near Pipestone National Monument. This was on the 4th of July. In 2020 that meant staying away from the shows, the crowds. Here, my daughter was with me. I was shooting the dock and the moonlight. She said, would it be better with a little girl sitting at the end of the dock? Wow. YES! So she ran out and sat there, only to find that she could see the fireworks off in the distance from the dock. So she sat there for a while, watching the show. Great for me. I shot this several ways, I got the exposure of the moon in some frames, but I preferred the big glow and the big color. Enjoy.
